1. A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing system and based at least in part on information included in at least one electronic communication associated with a user of a mobile computing device, a context of the mobile computing device;
responsive to determining the context, executing, by a computing system, based at least in part on the context of the mobile computing device, an inferred parameter query to identify one or more results determined to be relevant to the user of the mobile computing device; and
sending, by the computing system, to the mobile computing device, the one or more results.

Abstract
In one implementation, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a parameterless search request, which was provided to a mobile computing device, for information that is relevant to a user of the mobile computing device. The method also includes, in response to the received parameterless search request, identifying with a digital computer system one or more results that are determined to be relevant to the user of the mobile computing device based upon a current context of the mobile computing device. The method further includes providing the results for display to a user of the mobile computing device.

12. A computing system comprising:
-
a context determination unit that determines, based on information about at least one electronic communication associated with a user of a mobile computing device, a context of the mobile computing device; a result identification unit that, in response to the context determination unit determining the context, executes, based at least in part on the context of the mobile computing device, an inferred parameter query to identify one or more results determined to be relevant to the user of the mobile computing device; and an output subsystem that provides the one or more results to the mobile computing device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computing device comprising:
-
a context determination unit that determines, based at least in part on information including in at least one electronic communication associated with a user of the computing device, a context of the computing device; and a network interface that sends the context of the computing device to a remote server system and receives, from the remote server system, one or more results of an inferred parameter query, the one or more results being determined to be relevant to the user of the computing device and being identified based at least in part on the context of the computing device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
